Talking workplace trends... In her TrendsTalk column, Louise Marsland discusses five trends that are shaping the future of work: new behaviours; technologies; the millennial workforce; mobility and globalisation. Leigh Andrews reports on the first ever #MRMW Africa conference in [MRMW] Adapt or die - spotlight on mobile market research. According to Shirley Harding, executive head of market research at Standard Bank and speaker at the event, mobile is going to fundamentally alter the research path. I attended the recent BlackBerry Experience event, held in partnership with ITWeb, where keynote speaker and Head of Security at BlackBerry, Nader Henein, shared a few lessons learned from BlackBerry's experience with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) customers and how to navigate this complex landscape. In other news, the grand finale of the annual AABLAs are quickly approaching, with the ultimate business game-changers being announced on 14 November; and if you missed last week's Biz Takeouts show, make sure you listen to the podcast which is now available. Last but not least, congratulations to our #myofficeinafrica Instagram competition winner, @kirsten85. The winning image from her office @junglecorner in Cape Town is fresh and unexpected and covers all the bases of a uniquely African office! Thanks again to everyone for making the competition such a success! Have a great week! Cheers!
